First, thanks for a reply : and I am happy it isn't silly !! :p The only thing is : you have to install klik and after you have to kilk aMsn... But I am not sure to understand well... How can we use amsn without installing it ? It must be on the HDD !! We haven't aMsn on Knoppix yet !! :p RPM is a standard way like DEB so with these to formats we can provides easy to install packages for Linux users... So where is the trouble with them ? If you want to add the support for Klik why not ? but don't rely on me to make the work... I don't know anything about it... You can only ask me for tips :p Phil PS I will see to make debian packages but any help is appreciated PPS Lee can you test (as you use SuSe) the RPM generation for your platform and check we put things to the good place ? You can tune some locations with the configure script and you can check without installing, opening the RPM with file-roller.
